LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Representatives with the Clark County School District have announced they are filing a restraining order against so called "sickouts" across the district.
Last week, several schools limited or canceled operations due to the number of teachers who had called out of work sick.
The statement from the district reads, in part"
"Today, the Clark County School District (CCSD) submitted an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to stop the continuance of a strike by licensed educators represented by CCEA...the actions of licensed educators have forced the closure of three CCSD schools and severely disrupted the operations of two additional schools through a targeted and coordinated rolling-sickout strike."
In a statement released Tuesday morning, the CCEA told Channel 13 that the union "will make its position clear in court tomorrow, Wednesday, September 13."

Previously, a district court judge declined to grant an injunction against the union representing Clark County School District over CCSD's stated concerns about a potential strike.
CCEA officials last week denied all involvement with the absences at several CCSD schools.
